Clues with Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore

On the night of December 27, 2011, Russ Faria came home to find his wife Betsy dead on the living room floor in Troy, Missouri — stabbed over fifty times. He called 911. He was convicted of her murder. Then he was freed. Then prosecutors tried again. The case of Betsy Faria is not just a murder mystery — it's a story about tunnel vision, a justice system that locked onto the wrong man, and the real killer who walked free for years while an innocent person sat behind bars. Morgan and Kaelyn trace every turn in a case that became a masterclass in how badly things can go wrong.

On November 20, 2012, nineteen-year-old Sage Smith left their home in Charlottesville, Virginia to meet someone they'd connected with online. They were never seen again. Sage was Black, transgender, and young and for a long time, their story received none of the urgency it deserved. No body has ever been found. A person of interest was identified but never charged. Morgan and Kaelyn examine the investigation, the community that fought to keep Sage's name alive, and the devastating pattern of missing persons cases that the media continues to ignore.

250 years ago, a brand-new country declared its independence, and in the centuries since, some of the worst crimes this country has ever seen reshaped America. Four murders. Four turning points. The crime behind Miranda rights. The case that created the FBI. The era that gave us criminal profiling. And the murder of Adam Walsh that built America's missing-children movement.

In January 2023, Ana Walshe was reported missing from her home in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Within days, investigators searching a trash transfer station made a discovery that shocked the nation. Her husband Brian Walshe, who had told police he didn't know where she was, led a trail of evidence straight back to himself a trail built from bloody items, a hacksaw, and purchases made at a Home Depot the morning after she was last seen. Morgan and Kaelyn follow the investigation that unraveled a marriage, a lie, and a crime that prosecutors say Brian tried to erase piece by piece.
